EPHESIANS. 5:15-16 amp   Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),16 Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.

ECCLESIASTES. 3:1ampc to everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven

 PASTOR BRACKEN -  life without purpose is time without meaning 

PASTOR BRACKEN - Ignorance of our purpose is dangerous because it permits the possibility that we live our lives and never know why we live.  

PURPOSE - THE REASON FOR WHICH SOMETHING IS DONE OR CREATED OR FOR WHICH SOMETHING EXISTS 

Mark Twain - two most important things in a man’s life is the day you’re born, and the day you figure out why

THE WORLDS PATTERN WILL ALWAYS FIGHT THE PURPOSE OF GOD 

         - ROMANS 12:2 Don’t conform to the PATTERN of this world but be transformed by the RENEWING of your mind
